I also use them to help my diversified classrooms prepare for standardized tests they have difficulty understanding and connecting with. Showing students these documents early will increase their reading and writing skills as they get more practice with them. Then when they see questions on their High Stakes tests in laguage similar to that on many primary source documents, they will feel more empowered. It's nice to see some enthusiasm about this topic in other places. Too many times I hear the negative about everything districts try. It is refreshing to hear some positive things once in a while.
